The council has set the format: a rap contest for young people on 30 December, the concert and comedy show in piazza del Plebiscito on New Year's Eve, then DJ sets on the seafront through to the afternoon of 1 January. The line-up isn't out yet: it usually lands in early December, and we'll add it here as soon as it does. All free; the square has entry checkpoints, so get there early.

Good to know

It runs from Wednesday 30 December to Friday 1 January at Piazza del Plebiscito and Lungomare Caracciolo (Old Town). Times: Evening of the 30th, the night of the 31st, afternoon of the 1st.

It’s free to get in. It’s on for 3 days in a row: pick the one when you have least else planned.
